Voiced by an 8-year old Kenyan boy called Eugene Muchiri, Monkey has been described by Claudia Lloyd, the head of animation at Tiger Aspect, as "our little hero" - and the very fact that this cheeky monkey introduces and ends every episode means that he has quickly become one of the most loved characters in whole show.
The Up, Down and All Around Monkey includes an in-built sensor that cleverly recognises Monkey's orientation (i.e. up or down). This in turn, enables him to respond differently, depending on that orientation. Monkey's bendable arms and tail can grip onto all kinds of things around the house - whether that be a shelf, computer or anything else you can attach him to! Monkey will even speak to you - saying different things depending whether he's the right way up or upside down.
The toy complements the shows ongoing theme of transformation nicely - as Monkey's very own episode asks the question: "Why does Monkey swing from trees?" Obviously fans of the show will be able to immediately answer "to escape the 'snap snap' of Crocodile!"... but this Up, Down and All Around Monkey toy will also allow fans of Tinga Tinga Tales to act out this story for hours on end, long after Monkey's episode has finished.
Fans of the show should also look out for other Monkey soft toys which come in both a small beanie version or a larger plush version with sound. Many of the other characters have been turned into plush toys too including Hippo, Elephant, Lion, Tortoise and Tickbird.
